Martin Blissett, Chairman of Newstyle radio says, “Yaz is an extremely talented artist, I was overwhelmed when I first heard her track ‘This World’, it is without a doubt the best female reggae track I’ve heard over the past couple of years. Yaz definitely has the support of Newstyle Radio.”
Arguably one of the UK's finest roots rock reggae/jazz experimental artists –
Yaz Alexander (www.yazalexander.com / www.myspace.com/yazalexander)
One of the most in-demand vocalists on the circuit. A fantastic track record in the industry having served her apprenticeship as a backing/lead vocalist under the stewardship of some of the UK’s best ever reggae recording artists i.e. Steel Pulse, Pato Banton et al.
Yaz is a great solo artist in her own right and has performed at several high profile events both at home as well as Internationally with her most recent performances in Birmingham Alabama bringing invitations to return in 09 to collaborate with some fantastic musician's out there.
